True and False in Scilab
In the world of Scilab, the stalwarts %t and %f hold a special place. They are the esteemed representatives of the Boolean constants "true" and "false".
- %t represents the Boolean value "true"
- %f represents the Boolean value "false"
These symbols are your handy tools when you're diving into logical and conditional operations in the Scilab programming environment.
Let's put this into perspective with a concrete example.
- if a > b then
- result = %t
- else
- result = %f
- end
In this piece of script, should the condition a > b hold true, the variable "result" gets anointed with the Boolean value %t (true).
On the flip side, if the condition a > b doesn't pass muster and turns out to be false, "result" is assigned the alter ego of truth, the Boolean value %f (false).
